Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 3, vol. 38 (April 2008) . - pp. 476-492 Titre : Black African Children and the Child Protection System Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Claudia Bernard, Auteur ; Anna Gupta, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 476-492 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Afrique # Enfants TS Education # Enfants:Enfants -- Protection, assistance, etc. Résumé : "This paper explores black African children’s experiences of the child protection system in the UK. The central focus of the paper is a review of the available literature on the social circumstances and environmental influences affecting many black African families involved in the child protection system; specific parenting practices and care-giving environments; and their experiences of social work and other professional interventions aimed at safeguarding and promoting the needs of African children. This paper examines these themes to elucidate the factors that contribute to the provision of effective, culturally competent interventions with black African children at risk of significant harm. It suggests that there are a number of tensions inherent for professionals in working with culturally diverse African families such as reconciling different beliefs and behaviours concerning child-rearing practices; affirming the parenting practices of these families in the engagement process; adopting a strengths-based orientation whilst at the same time safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable children. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications for practice."
